~ Loving to Train and Race

Week 11/Day 3 for Boston (Mesocycle 2: Speed and Endurance)

In what was supposed to be a 15 mile PM run, turned into a 9 mile PM “jog.” As a hardcore runner, I am one that does not subscribe to the term jog. However, that is what it felt like. My legs were heavy and very sore. Better yet, nothing I did (drills, stretches, etc) helped. I decided this week to introduce lower-body lifts to my training. As one can imagine, it left me hurting a great deal. I charted this run as a slow recovery run. I did have a nice slow AM recovery run of 5.5 miles.
